Mahiliou riot police beat spectator at motorbike festival
The recent scandal
with tear gas sprayed by ensign Retsikau near the face of a five-year-old child
at a football match in Babruisk is still remembered by many. However, the riot
police are not going to calm down.
This weekend there was a motorbike festival in Babruisk. The order there was
secured by the Mahiliou riot police. During the music concert a youngster
started waving his hands to the music. A riot policeman turned back and saw it.
Most probably, he understood it in a wrong way, because he immediately hit the
youngster in abdomen.
Then two more policemen ran up and pulled the guy into a police car. The
incident was witnessed by several tens of people. The younster was kept in the
car for quite a long time. He felt unwell when he was released from it and
looked scared.
He refused
to tell what had happened in the car and went home. His friends think he had
been beaten, as he refused to tell anything even the following day and looked
bad.
